OPENING ACT CONTEST RUNNING FOR SELECT DATES

 

NEW SINGLE GODS OF SPEED HITS RADIOWAVES

 

“From the moment Finger Eleven opens Five Crooked Lines with “Gods Of Speed,” the band illustrates how deeply they’ve been digging back into their roots by blasting out some genuine, guttural rock tones with a potent, anthemic mix of power, muscle and passion.” – Ground Control

 

“Finger Eleven will make a beeline for your playlist.” – Postmedia Pop Forecast

“Five Crooked Lines doesn’t deviate too much from the band’s post-grunge past, but it is built from more volatile stuff. That shift in tone from heavy gloss to raw power is made apparent within the first few seconds of opener “Gods of Speed,” a dense and propulsive road-warrior anthem built around a galloping backbeat that threatens to explode into Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” at any given moment.”

 James Christopher Monger, AllMusic

 

“This might be the band’s best and most complete work. There are nods to their influences all over the album if you listen for them, but at the same time it is completely and genuinely a FINGER ELEVEN album.” – Examiner.com
